I WILL SURVIVE by Gloria Gaynor

At first, I was afraid,
I was petrified.
I kept thinking
I could never live without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you'd done me wrong.
And I grew strong.
I learned how to get along.

So, now you're back
From outer space.
I just walked in to find you here
Without that look upon your face.
I should have changed my f---ing lock.
I would have made you leave your key,
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me.

Oh, now go,
Walk out the door.
Just turn around.
Now, you're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh, no, not I.
I will survive.
As long as I know how to love, I know I'll be alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will survive.
I will survive.
Yeah, yeah.

It took all the strength I had
Just not to fall apart.
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces
Of my broken heart.
And I spent so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry.
But now, I hold my head up high.

And you see me
With somebody new.
I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you.
And so, you thought you'd just drop by
And you expect me to be free.
But now I'm saving all my love
For someone who's loving me.

Oh, now go,
Walk out the door.
Just turn around.
Now, you're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh, no, not I.
I will survive.
As long as I know how to love, I know I'll be alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will survive.
I will survive.
Yeah, yeah.

SOBREVIVIRÉ
por Gloria Gaynor

Al principio, tenía miedo,
Estaba petrificado.
Seguía pensando
Que nunca podría vivir sin ti a mi lado.
Pero luego, pasé tantas noches
Solamente pensando en cómo me habías herido.
Y me volví fuerte.
Aprendí a sobrellevarlo.

Y ahora vuelves
Del espacio exterior.
Simplemente entré y te encontré aquí
Sin esa mirada en tu cara.
Debería haber cambiado la maldita cerradura.
Debería haberte hecho dejar la llave,
Si hubiera sabido, por sólo un segundo,
Que volverías para molestarme.

Oh, ahora vete,
Sal por la puerta.
Sólo da la vuelta.
Ahora, ya no eres más bienvenido.
¿No eras tú el que intentó dejarme?
¿Pensaste que me desvanecería?
¿Pensaste que abandonaría y moriría?

Pues no, yo no.
Sobreviviré.
Mientras sepa cómo amar, sé que estaré vivo.
Tengo toda mi vida para vivir.
Tengo todo mi amor para dar.
Sobreviviré.
Sobreviviré.
Sí, sí.

Me llevó todas las fuerzas que tenía
No caerme en pedazos.
Estoy intentando arreglar las piezas
De mi corazón partido.
Y pasé tantas noches
Compadeciéndome de mí mismo.
Solía llorar.
Pero ahora, no me avergüenzo.

Y ya me ves
Con una nueva persona.
No soy esa estúpida personita enamorada de ti.
Y pensabas que simplemente pasarías de visita
Y esperabas encontrarme libre.
Pero ahora estoy guardando todo el amor
Para alguien que me ama.
